Deskripsi

Laryngocele represents an abnormal invagination of the mucous membrane from the Morgagni laryngeal ventricle, being filled with air and communicating with the laryngeal inlet. The symptoms are intermittent, with recurrent episodes of dysphonia and airway insufficiency. Exceptionally, the wall of the cyst could become malignant. This case was reported given the association between laryngeal carcinoma and external laryngocele.
